INTRODUCTION

The DCX readers are stand-alone data collection readers which

are available in ﬁxed-mount and portable versions.

Major features of the DCX products include:

• 4 million bytes of non-volatile ﬂash storage for sav-

ing transactional data.

• Time and Date stamping for all transactions.

• RS232 or USB serial port for uploading data on

portable units.

• RS232, RS422, USB, or TCP / IP serial port for

uploading data on ﬁxed units.

• Easily programmed using serial commands or

Ibc’s utility software.

• Red and Green status leds.

• “J” series reader emulation.

• Programmable reader identiﬁers which can be

included in each data transaction record.

• Available with barcode, magstripe, proximity, iclass,

mifare, indala, and piv-II reading.

• Supports reading of Kronos and CAC / USID cards.

There are four models of readers in the

DCX Series:

• Smart Slot DCX (barcode)

• Smart Mag DCX (magstripe)

• Magbar DCX (barcode and mag)

• Smart Prox DCX (Prox, IClass, PIV, with optional

barcode)

The Smart Slot DCX reader supports barcode reading only. The

Smart Mag DCX supports magnetic stripe reading only. The

Magbar DCX supports barcode and magnetic stripe reading. The

Smart Prox DCX supports either proximity, iclass, piv-II, or mifare

reading, with optional barcode and/or magstripe reading.

DCX readers are available as ﬁxed-mount readers, or as portable

readers.

Fixed mount readers are available with wire exits on the side or

underneath, and can be mounted to a wall or tabletop. Available

interfaces with ﬁxed mount versions are RS232. RS422, usb, or

Tcp/ip. Tcp/ip readers can be POE.

The DCX readers contain 4MB of memory in which data transac-

tions are stored. Every time a supported card is read, the data

read from the card is stored into the memory, along with an op-

tional date/time stamp, and two optional reader identiﬁers. Data is

stored in a circular buffer.

The reader can be programmed to accept speciﬁc barcode sym-

bologies, magstripe tracks, or prox formats. Data can be masked

before saving. Proximity cards are supported up to 64 bits.

Portable readers are available with an internal 9 volt battery com-

partment (order sufﬁx I), a power jack on the side of the reader

for connecting an ac adapter or battery (order sufﬁx J), or with

both (order sufﬁx A). The available interfaces with portable units

are RS232 and USB.

For applications where the readers will be used to collect data at

stationary points (time and attendance, trade show lead gather-

ing, training class attendance), where ac power is available, the

model with side jacks is the preferable model as an ac adaptor

can be used to power the reader and the reader can be mounted

tabletop. If ac power is unavailable for any short period of time,

a 9-volt battery may also be used using a special 9-volt adaptor

cable offered by IBC.

DCX Series User’s Guide

Version 2.11 Rev. 0 13 August 2013

Models which have the internal battery operate off of a 9-volt bat-

tery, which is housed in a small compartment located on the bot-

tom of the reader. This model also has an on/off switch located

on the bottom of the reader, so you can turn the reader off and

conserve power when the reader is not in use.

The SMAG-DCX will operate for approximately 8 hours with a

9-volt battery. The SSLOT-DCX will operate for about 5 hours

using a fully charged battery. The SPROX-DCX will operate for

about 4 hours using a fully charged battery.

All versions of the DCX readers can operate in an online mode,

similar to a J series reader.

A built-in memory protection feature notiﬁes you when the reader

is full, and data must therefore be uploaded to a PC.

There are 2 leds (red and green) on the reader, which are used

to notify you of a good or bad read, and notiﬁcation of when the

reader is full.

There are two reader identiﬁcation ﬁelds which can be stored

along with scanned data. One ﬁeld is the reader id which is 5

characters in length. The 2nd ﬁeld is the reader description ﬁeld

which is 10 characters in length. You can optionally store either or

both ﬁelds along with each scanned data item.

You can upload the transactional information in the DCX reader

into your computer by writing a simple program to upload the

data using the command set, or use IBC’s DCX utility software.

COMMUNICATION

All DCX series readers communicate serially, either with RS232,

RS422, usb, or TCP / IP. Non-ﬁxed mount versions normally have

a jack for connecting the communications cable. Fixed mount

versions normally have a wire connected directly to the reader.

Some DCX readers may have 2 jacks on the side of the reader,

one for power and one for communications. The communications

wire is always the larger jack.

Do not plug the power wire into the communications jack or dam-

age to the reader can occur.

The default RS232 / RS422 and usb communications parameters

are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity.

You can communicate with the readers using your own software,

software provided by your dealer, or using IBC’s DCX utility soft-

ware, which is located on our website.

To initially test communications with the reader, send the reader

the V command, followed by a carriage return (hex 0D). The

reader will respond by sending it’s ﬁrmware identiﬁcation. If you

do not have communications and you have a portable reader,

make sure that the communication cable plug is seeded properly

into the jack on the reader.

LEDS

Note that data uploaded from a DCX reader is not cleared from

reader memory until you speciﬁcally send the clear command to

the reader.

DCX readers are ﬂash downloadable, meaning you can update

the reader with new versions of ﬁrmware when they are released.

It is suggested that you consult the programming commands for

all features that you will be using. The programming commands

provide additional detail for each of these functions.

DCX readers contain two leds on the front of the reader - one red

and one green.

During normal operation, theses leds are off. The Green led will

turn on after a good read. The red led will turn on if the unit is full,

and also for a bad read.

While in the “J” emulation mode, both leds are normally off, and

operate according to the “J” programming defaults which you

have programmed the reader to.

WEATHERPROOFING

Weatherproofed units are weather-resistant and not completely

weatherproof. Avoid direct contact with continuous rain and/or

ice/snow by providing some protection.

If you have a unit with power and communication jacks on the

side, be sure to protect them so that water cannot enter the

reader.

Units which are not ordered as weatherproofed readers can

become damaged if water enters the reader through one of the

jacks. Avoid using the reader under any condition that will allow

water to enter the reader.

READER SETUP

Prior to using the DCX reader, you should setup the reader us-

ing the programming commands or the utility software. In many

cases, the factory defaults for the reader may be sufﬁcient for

your application, but it is always best to make sure the reader set-

tings match your requirements.

For barcode reading, you can turn each supported barcode sym-

bology on or off. By default, all symbologies are turned on. Also

you can restrict the barcode reading to speciﬁc lengths only.

For magnetic stripe reading, you can turn on or off any of the

magstripe tracks, and also restrict the reading to only speciﬁc

length cards. By default, only Track 2 reading is turned on.

For proximity reading, you must conﬁgure the reader so that it

knows the acceptable prox formats that you want to read. This

includes programming the complete bit structure for the format(s)

you are reading. By default, the reader is setup to process stan-

dard 26 bit cards, and save the 5 digit ID number only from the

card.

The reader has a maximum programmable record length of 40.

The 40 character max includes any masking characters, but

does not include the date and time, reader id, or reader descrip-

tion ﬁelds.

OPERATIONAL MODES

Dcx readers support 3 different operational modes:

Ofﬂline Collection Mode

Online Mode

Hybrid Mode

In the Ofﬂine Collection mode, scanned data is saved in the non

volatile memory and remains there until the host system asks for

the data.

In the Online Mode (“J” emulation mode), the reader emulates

and IBC J series reader. Scanned data is transmitted immedi-

ately and not stored in the non volatile memory.

The Hybrid mode is new to version 2.xx ﬁrmware. In the Hybrid

mode, scanned data is both transmitted in real-time and stored in

non volatile memory.

TCP TRANSMISSION OPTIONS

DCX readers with a tcp/ip interface are available with either the

standard IBC tcp/ip ﬁrmware, or an extended tcp/ip ﬁrmware

package built speciﬁcally for the DCX reader. The extended tcp/

ip ﬁrmware acts as a tcp/ip client and transmits new DCX stored

data to a server at user-programmable interval times.

Version 2.11 Rev. 0 13 August 2013

PROGRAMMING COMMANDS

You program the DCX reader by sending serial commands. Each command must be followed by a carriage return (hex 0D).

The reader will respond with OK if the command is accepted, or NOK if the command is not accepted.

If your reader also supports reading barcodes, you can also embed commands within a barcode. To make a barcode containing

a command, the barcode must be in code39, and start with a %U.

Note that any spaces shown in the commands are not part of the command. They are used solely for readability.

To program any TCP/IP related parameters, refer to the IBC TCP/IP Programmers Guide.

Reset Record Size Command

\ x x d r s

 xx data size min=4, max=40

 d include the date when saving data 0=no, 1=yes

 r include the reader id when saving data 0=no, 1=yes

 s include the reader description when saving data 0=no, 1=yes

This command clears all data in the reader, and sets the record size. The record size must be set to the largest size of any

data that you will be storing. It is ok to read card data that is smaller than this size, but any card data larger than this size will

be rejected.

When reading proximity style cards, you will need to program the reader to the ﬁeld data that you want to read off of the

card, and the length of each of these ﬁelds when they are converted into decimalized numbers. The total length of

the ﬁelds which are converted cannot be larger than the maximum record size setting. See the proximity formatting

commands for more information.

Version Command

This command returns the ﬁrmware version loaded in the reader.

 2 prox dump mode

 5 collection mode

Sets the mode of the reader.

Mode 5 is the standard data collection mode.

Mode 1 is an online mode. Data from scanned cards is immediately transmitted out serially and is not stored,

unless Hybrid Mode is also turned on.

Mode 2 is a special mode for dumping the bit pattern of proximity cards, including prox, iclass, piv, and mifare.

The prox bits (1’s and 0’s) are transmitted through the serial interface when the card is presented.

This mode is useful when attempting to identify the format of the prox card.

Get Log Item

Returns a logged data record. The format of the data record will be date/time, reader id, reader description, data.

Date/time, reader id, and reader description are optional items and will only be in the data record if they were turned on

using the \ command.

The date/time is in the format YYMMDDHHMMSS.

Reader Id is 5 characters

Reader Description is 10 characters

Data can be any length up to the maximum you have programmed.

When all data has been uploaded from the reader, the l command will return END.

Note that data is not cleared from the reader until you send the lc command.

Clear Log

This command clears all of the log data in the reader.

Reset Log Position

Causes the reader to start uploading data from the beginning of the log data. The reader remembers what position you are

when uploading data, so every l command gets the next data record. If you issue the lr command, the next l command will

return the ﬁrst data record, and then continue upward.

s 1 = ean13 sufﬁx on; 0 = don’t include sufﬁx

NOTES

• If the direction indicator is turned on, then the ean13 data is preﬁxed with a “f” to indicate that the card was read in a forward

direction, “r” to indicate it was read in the reverse direction.

• If the ean13 barcode has extra bars in it, before or after the barcode, you can set the extra bars parameter to the number of

allowable extra bars. The reader will ignore the extra bars and “ﬁnd” the ean13 barcode within the bars.

• If you set the preﬁx or sufﬁx on, the any preﬁx that you program for ean13 will be prepended to the

ean13 data, and any sufﬁx that you program will be appended to the ean13 data.

Ean13 Prex

X028 aaa bbb ccc ddd eee

aaa-eee 3-digit ascii value for a character, max=126, 000=end

You can program up to 5 characters to be prepended to ind2of5 data. To set a character use the 3-digit decimal value for the

character, i.e. “A” = hex 41 = 065 decimal. Use 000 to signify the end of the preﬁx data.

Example: X028049050000000000

Inserts a preﬁx of “12” in front of the ean13 data.

X034 p3 ll3 p4 ll4 p5 ll5 (mask 1, part 2)

X035 ll p1 ll1 p2 ll2 (mask 2, part 1)

X036 p3 ll3 p4 ll4 p5 ll5 (mask 2, part 2)

ll Lenth of the barcode. If any barcode matches this length, the barcode data is masked.

p1 1st position

ll1 data for 1st position

p2 2nd position

ll2 data for 2nd position

p3 3rd position

ll3 data for 3rd position

p4 4th position

ll4 data for 4th position

p5 5th position

ll5 data for 5th position

NOTES

• Barcode masking allows you to select speciﬁc portions of the barcode to include in the saved data. By using the masking,

you can effectively “mask out” any unwanted portion of the barcode data. You can also insert characters into the data using

this command.

• There are 2 masks for barcodes. Each mask speciﬁes a speciﬁc length barcode. If the barcode which is read matches the

length for the mask, then the mask is applied. If a barcode does not match either of the mask lengths, then it is not masked.

Use a length value of 00 to turn off the mask (ll=00).

• To select a speciﬁc part of the barcode to include in the saved data, set the p(x) parameter to the starting position in the

barcode, and set the ll(x) parameter to the length to select. You can also set the length to 000 which selects all of the data

starting at the position p(x).

Example: Barcode data is 1234567890

Command: X033 10 06003....... Result: 678

Command: X033 06000....... Result: 67890

To insert a character in the masked data, set the p(x) parameter to 00 and in the ll(x) parameter specify the character to insert,

using the 3-digit decimal value of the character.

Example: Barcode data is 1234567890

Command: X033 10 010050006505000... Result: 12345A67890

Each barcode mask requires 2 commands to be sent to the reader - part 1 and part 2. The commands were broken into multiple

parts to facilitate easy programming when using barcode control cards.

General Barcode Options

X037 t n a m k b c

t barcode timeout value, 1 thru 9, default=5

k 0 = kronos mode off; 1 = kronos mode on

b 0 = no good read beep; 1 = beep on a good barcode read

c 0 = don’t convert usic/cac cards; 1 = convert usic/cac cards

NOTES

The barcode timeout is a conﬁgurable parameter that adjusts the amount of time the reader waits after seeing a barcode before

it timeouts and processes the barcode. This value should be left at 5 which is the default, unless you have two barcodes next to

each other. In that case, the timeout value should be shortened.

• There are 2 masks for each of the 3 magnetic stripe tracks. Each mask speciﬁes a speciﬁc length magstripe. If the mag-

stripe which is read matches the length for the mask (on that particular track), then the mask is applied. If a magstripe does

not match either of the mask lengths, then it is not masked. Use a length value of 00 to turn off the mask (ll=00).

• To select a speciﬁc part of the magstripe to include in the saved data, set the p(x) parameter to the starting position in the

magstripe, and set the ll(x) parameter to the length to select. You can also set the length to 000 which selects all of the data

starting at the position p(x).

• If p is set to 1, then the reader will validate the parity for 26 bit and 28 bit cards. If the parity is incorrect, the reader will

ignore the card.

• Set s to 1 to pass thru the wiegand data undisturbed (1’s and 0’s) out the serial connection when in mode 1.

X079 iss il b sc ic uc 3rd format, part 2

bbb total number of bits on the card being read

sss starting position of the site (facility) code

sl number of bits for the site code

b 0=normal bit order (msb); 1=reverse bit order (lsb)

bss starting position of the id code

bl number of bits for the id

iss starting position of the issue code

il number of bits for the issue code

sc number of characters for the site code

ic number of character for the id

uc number of characters for the issue code

NOTES

• There are 3 different card formats that can be programmed in. Cards which are read must match one of these formats to be

considered a good card.

• Sss,bss,iss are the starting bit positions on the card for the site, id, and issue code ﬁelds. If you are not using all of these

ﬁelds, leave the unwanted ﬁelds at 000. Sl,bl,il are the number of bits on the card used for the site, id, and issue code. Set

any unused ﬁelds to 00.

• Sc, ic, uc are the number of digits to convert the site, id, and issue ﬁelds to.

Proximity Masking

X080 p1 ll1 p2 ll2 (format 1, part 1)

X081 p3 ll3 p4 ll4 p5 ll5 (format 1, part 2)

X082 p1 ll1 p2 ll2 (format 2, part 1)

X083 p3 ll3 p4 ll4 p5 ll5 (format 2, part 2)

X084 p1 ll1 p2 ll2 (format 3, part 1)

X085 p3 ll3 p4 ll4 p5 ll5 (format 3, part 2)

p1 1st position

ll1 data for 1st position

p2 2nd position

ll2 data for 2nd position

p3 3rd position

ll3 data for 3rd position

p4 4th position

ll4 data for 4th position

p5 5th position

ll5 data for 5th position

NOTES

• Proximity masking allows you to select speciﬁc portions of the decimalized proximity data to include in the saved data.

By using the masking, you can effectively “mask out” any unwanted portion of the data. You can also insert characters into

the data using this command.

• There is one mask for each of the programmable proximity formats. The mask is executed only if the prox card matches the

length speciﬁed in the prox format,, and masking is explicitly turned on.

• To select a speciﬁc part of the data to include in the saved data, set the p(x) parameter to the starting position in the data,

and set the ll(x) parameter to the length to select. You can also set the length to 000 which selects all of the data starting at

the position p(x).

Example: Decimalized prox data is 1234567890

Command: X080 06 003 00 000 Result: 678

Command: X080 06 000 00 000 Result: 67890

To insert a character in the masked data, set the p(x) parameter to 00 and in the ll(x) parameter specify the character to insert,

using the 3-digit decimal value of the character/

Example: Decimalized prox data is 1234567890

Command: X080 01 005 00 065 05 000

Result: 12345A67890

Each mask requires 2 commands to be sent to the reader - part 1 and part 2.

Speaker Control

X095 s fff gg

s 1=beep on reader startup, 0=no beep

fff speaker frequency, adjustable from 001 to 255

gg speaker time for a good read, in 100ms increments

Speaker Duty Cycle

X102 oo ff

oo on period, 01 to 15

ff off period, 01 to 15

You can change the duty cycle of the speaker in order to conserve power. By default, the duty cycle is 01/04 which means the

speaker is active 25% of the time when on, yielding a 75% reduction in speaker power use. Because a duty cycle is a timed

period, changing the duty cycle will have an effect on the audio frequency of the speaker. We recommend leaving this value at

it’s default.

USID Card Options (21 Character Cards)

X104 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

1 Active personnel 1=on, 0=off

2 Retired 1=on, 0=off

3 Reserve 1=on, 0=off

4 Sponsor 1=on, 0=off

5 Dependent 1=on, 0=off

6 Civilian 1=on, 0=off

7 Retired Reserve 1=on, 0=off

8 Dependent data type 0=dependent’s pdi, 1=sponsor’s pdi

NOTES

• Each of the parameters above allow you to selectively turn on or off processing of speciﬁc usid cards. If the option is turned

off, then the card data is left untouched and the pdi is not extracted.

• Note that this command affects on 21 character usid cards. The older 24 character cards are not supported at this time.

18 character usid and cac cards are selected using the X105 command.

• Note that for 21 and 18 character usid cards to the processed, the option must be set in the X037 command.

USID and CAC Card Options (18 Character Cards)

X105 1 2 3 4

1 Accept all cards (except dependents) 1=on, 0=off

2 Accept Dependents 1=on, 0=off

3 Datatype (non dependent) 1=edi, 0=pdi

4 Datatype (dependents) 1=Sponsor’s edi, 0=dependent’s edi

NOTES

• To convert non dependent usid18 and cac cards to either the pdi or edi number, option 1 must be turned on (1).

To also accept dependent’s cards, turn on option 2.

• For non-dependent cards, either the pdi or edi can be used. Dependent cards contain only the edi or the sponsor or of the

dependent. Either one can be selected with option 4.

• Note that for 21 and 18 character CAC cards to the processed, the option must be set in the X037 command.

Online Mode Hybrid Options

X108 x y

x Transmit Time 1=on, 0=off

y Store Data 1=on, 0=off

NOTES

• This command is only valid when the reader is in mode 1 (online mode).

• Setting the “transmit time” option to 1 turns on the transmission of date/time data along with the scanned data. The data will

be transmitted real-time in the following format: YYMMDDHHMMSS data.

• Setting the “store data” option to 1 instructs the reader to also log the scanned data in non volatile memory, as well as trans-

mit the real-time data. The stored data can later be retrieved with the l command.
